--- Comment #19 from Parameshwara Bhat <[email protected]> --- @Eike Rathke, I am not a programmer, but LO user. But I do understand the technology involved, to that extent I am not a common user. In principle, what I believe is LO or any open-source program should aim to be better and smarter than proprietary counterparts and they need not be our references. But to the extent these programs define the baseline, we need to refer to them. If LO already has a convertToNumber Extension, will it not be possible to enhance it and merge it with the Mainstream LO so that like in MSO, we can have a warning when numbers and dates formatted as text are encountered ? Also, an option in the warning menu to convert cell-content to numbers ? May be this bug report can be changed to Enhancement Request ? your suggestion to tell Bank to give a proper portable spreadsheet may not work as long as MSO keeps handling this easy. Also, bank is a big corporate, it's staff are also users of the program,they do not understand and do not appreciate these finer points. Look, even jasper library,when exporting to Excel format, exports numbers formatted as text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
